The Civil Rights Act of 1964 included the following provisions:

  1. Outlawed discrimination in the workplace - This act prohibited employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

  2. Prohibited segregation in public places - The act aimed to eliminate segregation in public accommodations, such as hotels, restaurants, and theaters.

  3. Gave the federal government enforcement tools - The act provided mechanisms for the federal government to enforce desegregation and protect civil rights.

The other options mentioned, such as allowing states to determine their own civil rights, approving desegregation of public schools, and guaranteeing African Americans the right to vote, were not provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; rather, they relate to other civil rights legislation and decisions.
